All of the art is by local artist Chris Chappell, whose
murals can be seen around town and at places such
as Hilltop Tavern in Clifton. "He's been doing these
skateboards — they actually light up," co-owner Eric
Morris says. The trolley-painted canvases speak to the
history of the streetcar line that used to turn around at
Douglass Loop.
Loop 22 is the frst of the three restaurants opened by Adam Burress and
Chase Mucerino with a full bar. "We just wanted some cocktails that you
don't see everywhere," general manager Michael Taylor says. The fve-
cocktail list includes the Catch 22 margarita, which uses house-made
jalapeño-infused El Jimador tequila, and the Jefferson Jackass, a Moscow
Mule with bourbon. "It's a short list that's fun, that we can master and
switch up in a month or two when the weather changes," Taylor says. He
has a wine background, having managed the Wine Shop on Bardstown
Road, and he has worked at several restaurants around town, including
the Blind Pig, Maido and Dragon King's Daughter. The menu description
for an Italian red called Vinicola del Sannio Aglianico reads: "Pairing this
wine with a rotisserie bird is like giving Otis Redding a microphone."
